What people have to say after Manoj’s classes ...

“I liked that I wasn’t just sitting in a chair for two days listening to someone talk to PowerPoint slides. I got to know the other people in the class, we ran real scrum exercises and now I know what I was doing wrong (and right!) at work. I can’t wait to get back and put my new skills to work.”

“Manoj did a great job. I know have a much better understanding of scrum. The class went by really fast.”
